Project Server 2010: PWA Removing Default Project Site Security Groups When Creating a New Project

I looked for this specific issue with Project Server 2010/PWA/SharePoint and could not find an exact answer... hopefully someone can help.
We are currently using Project Server 2010 and have a number of project site templates that are used dependent upon the enterprise project type selected. Each of these project site templates have unique permissions which should create the default security
groups on the project site upon publishing/syncing:
<Project Name> Members
<Project Name> Owners
<Project Name> Visitors
<Project Name> Project Managers (Project Web App Synchronized)
<Project Name> Team Members (Project Web App Synchronized)
Web Administrators (Project Web App Synchronized)
Whether a user creates a project through PWA or Project Pro 2010 and imports the project into PWA, we get a weird result in the Site Permissions of the newly created project site. PWA will remove all default security groups from the project site template
and add a whole list of users in the Site Permissions list without groups. 
Once the project is published and the project site is created, we can then go back and add those default security groups back in the project Site Permissions and even add a couple of custom groups without them being removed on all subsequent project syncs
or publishing. 
How do we get PWA to not overwrite the project site templates' security groups and place each user in the proper default security groups? At the same time, how is PWA adding a number of users into the Project Site Permissions?
Thanks in advance.

Paul,
Thanks for that information. Right now we are using the Test environment to turn the Auto-sync feature back on. I suspect that the reason this is happening is due to PWA groups/categories/security templates. There may be more than one PWA group that is "overwriting"
the default project site groups upon initial creation of the project. We will look further into the security settings to tighten up the policies.

    Jack Galante Sr Systems Engineer

    Jack,
    Are you the Project Server Administrator?Does this happen for all users or just one? If just one, please see if the users system is the issue.
    If it is all users, then Do you know if anybody else with approproate permissions added any custom code?
    I am not really sure of the issue here. Here are a few things you could try:
    1) Reboot all the servers
    2) Restart the Project Server related services like Events Service and Queue Service
    3) Navigate to Central Admin, and see if you restart the Project Application Service. 
    If none of the above work, then I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support before making any further changes.

  • Project Server 2010 PWA Provisioning Error - System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

    Hi,
    When migrating from a Prod Environment to a Test Environment using the Project Server 2010 5 Database backup and restore process (actually 6 DB's with the Project Sites DB), upon encountering a failure during provisioning the PWA Instance, we get the errors listed
    at the base of this posting in our Event Logs.
    To clarify what we have done already, we have:
    1. Backed up the 6 databases from the Source Environment.
    2. Removed the existing PWA_Content and PWS_Content (Project Sites) databases from the Target Environment Farm.
    3. Restored the 6 databases in the Target Environment.
    4. Given the SP Farm Service Account 'db_owner' rights to each of the 6 restored databases.
    5. Added the PWA_Content and PWS_Content databases  (exact same names) to the Target Environment.
    6. Locked down (offline/stopped), all of the SharePoint Content databases in the Farm except for the PWA_Content database.
    7. Run the PWA Provisioning process from the 'Project Server' SharePoint Service in Central Admin.
    It is during the PWA provisioning that we encounter these errors.
    As the Target Environment is for Test/Dev purposes, the SP Farm Service Account is setup to support all of the SharePoint Farm Services, is in the Local Admin Group of each of the Servers (App, WFE and DB), and is actually in the sysadmin
    role on the DB Server.
    Any suggestions on what is causing this denied access situation would be most appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Wayne

  • Project Server 2010:- How to add Own Workspace filter in workspace web part like project server 2007

    Hi All,
    I am using project server 2010.
    Can some one advise me how can I add Own Workspace filter option in workspace web part like project server 2007 which is showing all projects name page by page. There no filter option available. I am not sure if there is any out of box feature. 
    Thanks in Advance..

    Nitin,
    PS2010 shows by default the workspaces you have permissions to. Unfortunately, there is no more filtering options available.
    The only solutions are to write a custom webpart, or develop your own SSRS Report, which you can customize the way you want.
    Refer to Paul's excellent blog post on this topic here:

  • 'serious error' when creating a new project in adobe premiere elements 10

    Hello,
    I saw similar questions on the forums but not quite what is happening with me.
    First off I should say i've never had this working however the copy of premiere elements 7 we had worked perfectly fine. I am a technician in a school and i'm trying to install the software for the students (we have lots of lisences). The software appears to install perfectly fine and the launcher works. I click to create a new project (or open an old one) premiere appears to load up correctly. It only crashes once I click to browse for a location to save the file.
    The error message says, as i've noticed seems to be a generic message for any error on premiere: "Sorry, A serious error has occured that has caused Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project"
    At first I thought this was student user rights (as students do not have access to C:\) however I have since tried it with my own admin account which has full rights and effectively should be able to do anything and it still continues to crash.
    The stations I am working with are:
    Operating System
    MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3
    CPU
    Intel Pentium E5200  @ 2.50GHz
    Wolfdale 45nm Technology
    RAM
    2.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (6-6-6-18)
    Motherboard
    Intel Corporation DQ43AP (CPU1)
    Graphics
    PLE2008HDS (1600x900@60Hz)
    Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset
    Hard Drives
    156GB SAMSUNG SAMSUNG HD161GJ (SATA)
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide some insight on this matter
    ~ Ash

    These previous discussions are not necessarily about PreElements, but they are about problems with trying to run on a network (which no flavor of Premiere is designed to do)

  • When creating a new project, the step "new sequence settings" doe not appear automatically, what to do?

    Hi there,
    I have a question I am doing product videos for a comany they would like me to do this in a format that is 16:9 and in HD. Since they don't know on which channels they want to publish it but it is certain they will publish it on youtube I wanted to do it in the settings HDV and then DVCPROHD 720p24 or even 1080p24. I have bought the license of Premiere online and for some reason I do not have the option in the beginning when I create a new project to change the sequence settings. They do not appear and afterwards I cannot change them. Do you guys have an idea what can be done in order to access this setting before the project ultimately opens?
    I'd highly appreciate any kind of help on the matter!

  • Stackoverflow error when creating a new project

    Hi,
    When I tried to create a new project, I got a java.lang.StackOverflowError.
    I did try to increase the heap size in odiparams.bat but didn't work:
    set ODI_INIT_HEAP=64m
    set ODI_MAX_HEAP=512m
    I also tried both jre 1.4.2 and jdk1.5.0_06. Both got same error. I
    m using windows XP Professional version, SP3.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am also facing the similar issue. I have carried out the steps as per your suggestion. I can now create a project but after ODI throwing the same error (or sometimes java.lang.reflect.invocationtargetexception).
    One thing I have noticed is when I login as Supervisor, there is no issue. The other user created has CONNECT, DESIGNER and OPERATOR profiles.
    Am I missing out something?

  • IMovie HD freezes when create a new project

    We still use iMovie HD 06 in our schools. It freezes everytime when one studnet tried to create a new project. I deleted com.apple.imovie.plist file, but it didn't help. I tried logon with another user, iMoive HD didn't freeze on creating new project. Saved this project to Shared folder and give everyone Read&Write permission. Login back the first student, tried to open the good project, but it still frozen.
    They are all AD users, I checked their own ~/Library/Preferences folder, but didn't find any plist file crushed.
    Any idea? Thanks,

    Hi
    My main guess is that there are a troublesome pref file but figuring out
    which one will take for eons.
    Can also be plug-ins to eg QuickTime.
    I would bite the sour Apple (sorry) and make new accounts to all users.
    At least they will start working again.

    Nothing is built in Project Server to do this for you automatically.
    They way I have done this in the past is to create a SQL job using SSIS.  It runs every hour and when it sees a project schedule that has a recent PUBLISHED date then this is a trigger to send an email to project manager.

  • Project Server 2010 PWA - attempting to move folders from root to document library subfolder does not work

    Hello all,
    We have an issue whereby attempting to move documents from the top level folder to a subfolder in a PWA site appears to work initially, but within a few minutes the documents are moved back to the top level folder with no error message.
    Uploading a document has the same effect.
    Permissions are granted at all levels in the document folder.
    Only some users seem to be affected.
    Only some project sites are affected.
    As an admin user I can successfully upload and move documents without issue.
    Any thoughts on what might cause this ?   I've actually never seen this before (and I have worked on a lot of SharePoint/Project Server deployments) so interested to know if anyone out there has a bright idea on how this might get fixed ?
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    I understand you encountered the issue when save document from Office client application to SharePoint 2010 site.
    Is there any Proxy settings in networking side? Please bring up IE > Internet options > Connections > Lan settings. If so, please uncheck options in Proxy server and test the issue again.
    If you have deploy GPO to add SharePoint site into Trusted sites, please check if there is any other GP associated with trusted sites that might affect the issue. You could also remove it from Trusted sites via IE options and test the issue again.
    In addition, please provide more error message to help narrow down the issue, you could locate error information in Event log at least.
